Dom Perignon Oenotheque Plenitude P2 2006

經過陳年嘅紅酒味道會變複雜同醇厚，陳年香檳都有類似效果。普通年份嘅香檳王係經過7-8年嘅酵母浸泡再除渣先推出市面，今次我地就為大家介紹香檳王嘅第二階段版本－P2。哩款係經過長達12-15年嘅酵母浸泡加酒窖熟成先推出市面。所以對比一般嘅香檳哩款P2味道更深厚複雜，果味非常豐富，而且泡泡更細滑同澎湃，係口腔嘅香味久久不散，係一枝非常有活力嘅香檳。

The 2006 Dom Pérignon P2, crafted from a blend of 55% Pinot Noir and 45% Chardonnay with a modest dosage of 4.5 grams, is presenting exceptionally well at this stage. It unfurls a complex, deep bouquet of smoke, ripe orchard fruits, mango, exotic fruits and spices. Medium to full-bodied, rich and expressive, it’s harmonious and enveloping and has gained structure and tension compared to the initial 2006 Dom Pérignon, while the palate is perfectly balanced with delicate gastronomic bitterness and chalky dry extracts that contribute to its long, mineral-driven finish. It should go well with delicate fare. P2 is the acronym for the Plénitude 2 series, Dom Pérignon’s second life, indicating that bottles are kept by the house to let them age on the lees and to obtain different expressions of the same wine throughout its life, letting time work its magic and thus acquiring additional complexity. 95 Points by Yohan Castaing, The Wine Adovocate, 2004.
